When we beat United on Wednesday...

[The Verminator]

Whether we're going for the league or not is irrelevant, it's just a game we have to win by any which way now.

Even if we didn't win, 12 more games to go after that.

You can afford to lose against City and Chelsea if you beat lesser teams and they don't.

eh?

[The Verminator]

We're not going to win the league though.

True, underdogs never win anything!

That's the spirit Zimm. It amazes me why you never went into football management with that sort of positive attitude to inspire the troops.


Anyway a win against United (our bogey team for ages) is now a must win. The title is looking unlikely as we've got hard fixtures to come but it's still a realistic possiblity. Let's not all just throw away all the good work we've done up to now on the basis of one terrible result.

If I was manager I'd believe, but only because I'd be trying to improve the team by signing quality players and using tactics.

I don't believe because of Wenger, he doesn't have what it takes and won't do the necessary.

I know and in terms of pure points, you are right but after defeats like this you've just got to get a win as soon as possible after it. It's the only way it can be forgotten.

The odds are against us but you'd be a fool to say we have no chance at all.

All I can say is there's a lot of fools going around at the moment then.

eh?

I'll explain in layman's terms. 3 points against a small team is the same as 3 points against a big team. If we lose against City/Chelsea but beat another team that they lose to then it works out the same in the league.

I misread the post I quoted.

Focussed on the 'you' and reckoned you meant 'you' in the context of you supporting another club and providing comfort to us.

I know what I mean.

In summary: my bad.

Understood - no worries.

Gooner till I die, only posting here to offer some optimism in a place I like to visit but has a hive mentality of doom. Lots of funny posts too though, which is why I sometimes like to read here.

You poor bastard - I'm one of the optimists!
